Abstract

This chapter presents findings from a recent Irish research report which investigated the experiences of stalking among 892 self-selecting respondents. With reference to international literature and that study, Part 2 of this chapter outlines the relationship between the stalker and the person stalked. Part 3 identifies the types of behaviours stalkers perpetrate. In Part 4 we look at the psychological, physical, social and economic effects of this behaviour on the person stalked. Finally, in Part 5 we discuss how growing international awareness of the problem of stalking has led to a European trend towards criminalising stalking in addition to criminalising harassment. We will situate the recent Irish legislative proposal to introduce a new stalking offence in that context.
